I keep a list of to-be-smelled, too, on index cards. Every once in a while, when the cards are too full of crossed-out names and cryptic notes or too mangled from being jostled on my desk or in my purse, I rewrite the list. It's fun, actually.

I really enjoyed reading your articles all week. I love aldehydes, but I just did not think I had much to contribute. Perhaps we are all just shy this week (or too exhausted from the heat to comment much). I especially liked your wrap-up article, pointing out the lesser known (at least to me) aldehydic fragrances - I added a few things to my to-be-smelled list. it's too bad you did not think it was very popular.

I'll be dreaming of more bottles along with you. Although I won't be able to finish every bottle I own (and will probably buy sometime in the future) at least it makes it easier to share with other perfume lovers. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

I enjoyed reading it immensely. I may not ever buy one of those perfumes again, but remembering some of those I had in years past was so much fun. And with my softspot for pretty bottles, getting the visuals was just as enjoyable. I understand what you said the other day about not buying many bottles these days because of the decants and samples you have, and I'm in the same predicament here. But dream I will, about having another one (or two or three) of those gorgeous bottles on my vanity. Thank you, Angela, for doing this week's review of aldehydic perfumes.

I'd love to know what you think of No. 22. It's definitely jam-packed with aldehydes, but it settles down so nicely. It must be the most feminine fragrance I own. You are so nice!

If other readers are like me, it may be that we are reading avidly, but not posting because we are learning... I think I'll spritz a little Chanel 22 if I can find some at Nordstrom's or Neiman's tomorrow... Thanks for doing the heavy lifting for us Angela!

You're the reader of Capture the Castle, which I recently read, too, and you were my introduction to Iris Poudre, which I must have a bottle of someday. I wonder what my second favorite Guerlain would be (after Vol de Nuit)? Maybe Chamade, but possibly L'Heure Bleue. Of course I know who you are!

I'm glad you enjoyed aldehyde week, because I don't think it's been very popular. People are probably chomping at the bit for Robin to come back and write about something new that they might actually want to wear. Isn't Gene Tierney great? So beautiful. I think I'll stop by the video store tonight and see if I can't find something with her in it. I cherish that decant of Champaca (thank you!) and it is sort of a “pause that refreshes”.

I have a lot of these on my list to try and/or buy. I am lucky enough to have a decant of Liu, and I think it would be my second favorite Guerlain, behind Vol de Nuit, if they hadn't stopped production <insert tantrum here>. Champaca is always a treat, too, anytime! (BTW, I posted the other day about all the perfumes you've "made" me buy, and later when I read your response I realized you probably didn't know who "Priscilla" was...I'm greeneyes/Sweet Diva.

Interesting to note, as regards your topic, that Robin wrote this is her Champaca review: "One of the things I adore about the Ormonde Jayne line, and Champaca is no exception, is that while the fragrances are composed of modern materials, the individual notes maintain an old-fashioned, pre-aldehydic kind of distinctness." I love No. 22, but I don't wear many aldehydes otherwise - still, I have enjoyed this week's reviews, not least because you got me interested in learning all sorts of things about Gene Tierny.
